Jay and Marc react to the Bargnani trade, the JR resigning and take a look at some of the other moves that have been made around the league.

Knicks lose one hell of an ugly game
This story is getting old. No Melo, Felton, Shumpert, and Wallace and Camby left early with back spasms. Oh and Indy happens to let up the fewest points in the league. It was obvious points were going to be hard to come by but 34 points at the half?
- There was a flurry of bad calls at the end of the 2nd quarter. Who would have thought a game reffed by Heywoode Workman (A Pacer on the '94 team that lost to the Knicks in 7 games in the conference finals) would result in some questionable calls.
- Let me be clear, that was NOT the reason the Knicks lost. 2 players scoring in double digits, one of them being JR who needed 29 shots to score 25 points was. Shooting 35% from the field and 20% from 3 is not going to win many games.
- Roy Hibbert went down with back spasms and Ian Mahinmi came in. This is when things went really bad for the Knicks as Ian then proceded to tear the Knicks a new one the entire 4th quarter. Ian Mahinmi – #Knickeffect
- Marcus Camby was said to have a sore foot. This is also the diagnosis they gave for Rasheed Wallace. He was last seen on the court 28 days ago and counting. Lets hope it's not as serious as Wallaces "sore foot".
- There really isn't much to take away from this game. The Knicks were really short handed and no one was able to step up and score some points. The Pacers are a good home team too. Can't get too mad, although the losses are starting to pile up now, 7 losses in the last 12 games.
- On the bright side Shumpert should be back in a little over a week which is really good since Brewer apparently wasn't even able to give 10 minutes on a night when half the roster was out.
Knicks scare the crap out of Knick Nation before beating Magic
Well that was close. After starting the game down 14-2 to the lowly Magic the Knicks come back to beat Orlando.
- More Camby lobs please.
- Melo was in video game mode. Especially in the 4th where he had a stream of fire coming out the back of the ball during his shots.
- I didn't know Charlie Day from It's Always Sunny was on the Magic.
- Amare needs to call Hakeen and ask how to finish these moves without getting his shot blocked. It's amazing how many of his shots get rejected. His defense didn't look great either (surprise surprise). At least he hit all his free throws.
- I'm still waiting to hear that Brewer has been playing injured.
- Nelson got shut down in the 4th quarter, he was on pace for a Knick Effect tonight. Nicholson was too before he faded.
- Jason Kidd. 39 years old. 15-8-7. Amazing.
- It would be really nice if the Knicks could start games like they finish them. It would make life a lot less stressful for everyone involved.
- That's about all I have to say about tonights game. Bring on Boston. Hopefully the Knicks can push them further below .500 on Monday.
Knicks vs Spurs – 1-3-13 – Game Thread
I have no idea what to expect tonight. I wouldn't be surprised if the Knicks won by 12 and I wouldn't be surprised if they lost by 25. Camby is starting by the way. Comment below as the game goes on.
Knicks surprise no one by losing in Amare's season debut
Amare played for the first time this season and Ed Malloy (who was surprisingly less biased than usual tonight) was reffing so you knew there was no way the Knicks were winning tonight.
Another reason they lost is this shot chart that I put together:
- It was really fun having Amare back tonight; looks like he watched zero game tape during his time off as he still looks completely lost on D.
- Amare was also icing both knees after pre-game warmups. A sign of things to come.
- Don't drink every time Amare gets burned on D because alcohol poisoning is bad for you.
- If an opposing player is within 10 feet of Novak he can't hit a shot. Woodson should see how tightly teams are playing him and give his minutes to someone else if he can't get a good look because he's also been emulating Amare on D.
- I liked the few minutes Chandler and Camby played together.
- Melo is going to have chronic back problems from having to carry this team every night.
- Felton can't come back soon enough.
- The Knicks look like they are back to being the team that is completely unpredictable from night to night. Are they going to play tough and hit shots or get completely blown out, who knows anymore?
- Kurt Thomas, 3 fouls in the first 4 minutes and doesn't play the rest of the game. How come other players aren't on as short of a leash as Kurt?
- Intense D is what got the Knicks off to such a good start. What happened? Can't blame tonight completely on Amare, plus they defense has looked like trash for a few games now.
Knicks vs Kings – 12-28-12 – Game Thread
Everyone on the Knicks is injured. Lets hope this is a blowout so Prigs can play a lot of minutes and save some wear and tear on Kidd, since he's going to be playing a ton of minutes in January. Other things to look for are Camby continuing to progress, Brewer getting out of his terrible slump (26% from the field and 6% from 3 point land this month). Comment below as the game progresses.
Knicks Player Tweet of the Week
Looks like the hazing continues for Chris Copland. This weeks tweet of the week comes from Marcus Camby.

Seek No Further Pop-up Stores |
Monday 31 Mar 2014
Fruit of the Loom's new Seek No Further label brings a sophisticated edge to the irreverent spirit and easy to wear staples of its parent label. Designed by Dorothée Loermann, formerly at cult Parisian fashion brand Surface to Air, the London-based label's first capsule collection offers contemporary and beautifully crafted wardrobe staples for men and women.
The capsule collection will be available at the Seek No Further pop-up stores, designed by Universal Design Studio, in London and Berlin from March 2014. A gallery space in London's Shoreditch and Berlin's Mitte district have been transformed into two pop-up stores especially for the launch of Seek No Further. With an emphasis on the process of making and reflecting the brand's innovative approach to materiality and detail, the stores' key message is simplicity.
Collaborating with artisans and art technicians, Universal have experimented with unconventional materials like glass wax, flock coating, cast concrete and silicone to create the handcrafted sculptural display pieces. In London, the capsule collection is displayed on a single 6.5m long rail suspended from the ceiling, set against the raw concrete wall. The long and narrow space of the gallery is further emphasised by the mirror-clad back wall, creating an illusion of double-depth. In Berlin, set within the raw shell of the gallery, solid, bold geometric shapes form a varied landscape. In both stores, an understated monochrome palette is juxtaposed with royal blue flock coating, translucent yellow display blocks of cast glass wax and sculptural objects coated in soft pink silicone.

Good shots- Thanx! We live far enuff in the sticks we have little light pollution (other than cloud scatter from city 30 miles away. When grandsons were smaller, they used to come out on summer nights for viewing moon, Saturn's rings, and some of Jupiter's larger moons. Had a little Cassegrain scope that worked well for those.
What we have here is... failure- to communicate.
Want fun, change white balance to florescent before taking moon shots Little confused how you have sharp photos and blurry photos? FXIF data was missing so I couldn't see what lenses you were using. I returned my friends 2x teleconvertor about a month ago... luckily we had overcast skies so didn't feel so bad.

The Boston Red Sox won the 2013 World Series. Even though it happened more than five months ago, it still seems improbable. Based on how the Sox ended their 2011 season and how they floundered their entire 2012 season, the turnaround is nothing short of remarkable.
But these are the kind of turnarounds capable with a full arsenal of team building weapons at your disposal. In two shorts years, the Red Sox rose from punchline to class of the league. While the future is inevitably bright in Boston, the next six months might not be quite as sunny as the overall health of the organization.
Make no mistake, the organization is healthier than almost any in baseball. The Red Sox are rich and popular, successful and loaded for bear. More than anything, they're smart. They have a very good idea of what they want to do and how they want to do it.

Air Force Falcons (13-13)
@UNLV Runnin' Rebels (24-6)
Saturday, February 25
Thomas & Mack Center
Attendance: 16,036
Air Force
Las Vegas, NV (Sports Network) - Chace Stanback drained five three-pointers en route to a game-high 21 points to go with eight rebounds as No. 21 UNLV topped Air Force, 68-58, at Thomas & Mack Center on Saturday.
Anthony Marshall netted 15 points and pulled down six rebounds, while Justin Hawkins donated 11 points for the Runnin' Rebels (24-6, 8-4 MWC), who have won two straight games. Mike Moser had a big day on the glass, pulling down 11 rebounds to go with seven points.
Michael Lyons paced the Falcons (13-13, 3-9) with 18 points and seven rebounds, while Kyle Green finished with 17 points on 6-of-8 shooting. Taylor Broekhuis contributed eight points, six rebounds and four assists in defeat.
UNLV roared out of the gate with an 18-4 run, before Todd Fletcher and Green drained consecutive three-pointers and Lyons put home a jumper to pull the Falcons within six with just over eight minutes to play in the opening half.
Stanback drilled a three following a Rebels timeout and Oscar Bellfield dropped in a three-ball out of a media timeout to push the UNLV lead back to 12 with under eight minutes to go.
A pair of free throws by Marshall extended the lead to 20 and the Rebels took a comfortable 37-23 advantage into the locker room.
UNLV shot just 38 percent from the floor in the first half, but was bolstered by six threes, while Air Force shot just 36 percent in the opening 20 minutes.
Air Force played much better in the second half, shooting 50 percent from the floor and outscoring UNLV, 35-31 in the latter 20 minutes, but they could never get the deficit below 10.

Unlike other super-powered MMOs, Gazillion's Marvel Universe Online will actually drop players into the tights of well-known comic book characters. Instead of being forced to make cheap knock-off characters we'll actually be able to play as Gambit, Spider-man, and Wolverine. Today, the first image of Wolverine has been released, and he looks, well, exactly like we expected he would look.
Hot damn did they make his claws long, though. Like, seriously. Super long claws. We're used to them being like half of that length - those are like the size of his arms.
While we're looking forward to running around the streets and doing battle with other super heroes and villains, we're still skeptical of playing as actual Marvel characters instead of making our own. Sure, it's lame to need to make "Wolfereen" and "Human Spider," but joining a group of four Wolverines doesn't really sound like it's going to be all that fun, either. Regardless, our comic book fanboyism makes it so that we must remain optimistic, no matter how unsure we are of the future of this MMO.

Biography Wikipedia
Petri Kuljuntausta is a composer, musician, sound artist and author of three books on electronic music and sound art. Since 1990's he has belonged to a new generation of composers in Finland interested in experimental and electronic music.
Kuljuntausta has composed digital music for experimental films, video art, visual art and dance projects, and made media and sound installations in museums, galleries and concert halls. His works has been performed in many European countries, Australia, Mexico and the USA, and he has made recordings for various labels in Australia, Colombia, England, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, India, Sweden and the USA. In 2004 Star's End and Inner Space radio shows selected Kuljuntausta's Momentum as one of the most significant CD releases of the year. In 2005 he won an award, The Finnish State Prize for Art, from the Finnish government as a distinguished national artist. NPS, the Nederlandse Programma Stichting (Dutch broadcasting foundation), and Yleisradio (Finnish Broadcasting Company) has produced extensive artistic profiles on Kuljuntausta.
Petri Kuljuntausta is famous for music composed of sounds both natural and extraordinary. In close collaboration with natural scientists, he has composed underwater installations from underwater materials and made music out of whale calls and the sounds of the Northern Lights. In many ways Kuljuntausta's art is based on good knowledge of tradition. Environmental sounds, live electronic music, improvisation and collaborations with Media Artists has influenced him as a composer.
One of his many challenging composition projects is Northern Lights Live, which is based on soundscapes of the Northern Lights and audio feedback. The work was commissioned by the ISEA2004 (Inter-Society for the Electronic Arts) festival, 12th Symposium on Electronic Arts. Northern Lights Live is a vivid collaboration in the field between art and science, recycling original nature recordings of the phenomena as well as processed aurora borealis sounds. A forty-five minute long continuous audio-visual dialogue between nature's own soundscapes and their digitally altered, urban noise-art substitutes were created on stage. In collaboration with zoomusicologist Dario Martinelli, Kuljuntausta released in 2008 a CD entitled Zoosphere. A Musical Encryptation of Animal Sounds, which is entirely based on animal sounds, like the sounds of birds, whales, wolves, shrimps. Kuljuntausta has also composed extensive body of works in the style of Minimalist music. Since mid-1990s he has developed new composition technique based on Phasing. Repetitive music could be heard especially in his film and video soundtracks.
In collaboration with visual artist and experimental film director Sami van Ingen Kuljuntausta has created media installations where the energy of light waves reveal audible sounds (Wave Motion), and the sound waves in water reveal moving light figures with the help of laser beams (Waves & Patterns). Soundscapes and environmental sounds are often present in his works. Another distinctive character in his music is the use of feedback noise. Kuljuntausta has developed his own electronic system to generate and control feedback sounds live.
The most extreme musical environment for Kuljuntausta's music is Saturn's moon Titan. When Cassini-Huygens spacecraft (Titan-IVB/Centaur) started its journey in 1997 from Kennedy Space Center, United States, his composition Charm of Sound was inside the Huygens probe of Cassini-Huygens spacecraft, stored on the CD-rom. When Huygens probe reached its destination on Friday January 14, 2005, Kuljuntausta's Charm of Sound landed on the ground of Titan after travelling seven years and four billion kilometres through Space.
Kuljuntausta has collaborated with composers and artists Morton Subotnick, Atau Tanaka, Richard Lerman, David Rothenberg, Robert Jürjendal, Markus Reuter, Pat Mastelotto, Chris Mann, Jim Nollman, Dario Martinelli, Al Margolis (If, Bwana), Helmut Lemke, Ocean-North, Juhani Liimatainen, Juhani Nuorvala, Hepa Halme, Jukka Orma, Markku Veijonsuo, Markus Fagerudd, Rihmasto, John Richardson, and VJ group Random Doctors, and he has produced and coordinated many album projects since late-1990s. In 2011 Kuljuntausta composed soundtrack for the film Five Fragments of the Extinct Empathy (directed by Anna Nykyri), the film was selected as the Best Short Documentary 2012 at the Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival, Toronto. Two years earlier, in 2009, Kuljuntausta composed soundtrack for the film Water Cities (directed by Jaana Puhakka) which won the first prize at III. Istanbul International Architecture and Urban Films Festival in Istanbul, Turkey. He has also composed music for the films Texas Scramble, The Blow, Days, and Navigator, all directed by Sami van Ingen.
Kuljuntausta is the author of an 800 page history of Finnish electronic music, On/Off. Eetteriäänistä sähkömusiikkiin (On/Off. From Ether Sounds To Electronic Music) (Kiasma and Like Publishing). With the book was released a CD compilation (compiled, restored and produced by Kuljuntausta), which contains the first Finnish electronic compositions from the years 1958-1963 first time on the CD.
In 2006 Kuljuntausta published his second book, Äänen eXtreme (eXtreme Sound) (Like Publishing), on his own approach to music and sound. Together with the book was released a DVD, which was simply entitled as Petri Kuljuntausta (also known as 1994-2005, referring to the composition period of the disc), which contains almost nine hours of electronic music and sound works (42 works) composed and performed by Kuljuntausta. His third book, First Wave (Like Publishing), on Finnish electronic music was published in English in 2008.
Kuljuntausta is the founder of Charm of Sound association (Äänen Lumo), established in 1995 to support electronic music, experimental music and sound art, and the Finnish Society for Acoustic Ecology which was founded in 1999. Kuljuntausta was the founder and main editor of "..." ezine (electronic magazine, 1997–2001) and he also founded Charmlist emailing-list in 2001, both focused on distributing information on the activities on electronic music and sound art.
During 1997-2005 Kuljuntausta produced a radio programme on electroacoustic music and sound art entitled Charmed Sounds (Lumottuja ääniä) for Yleisradio, Finnish Broadcasting Company. In 2000 Kuljuntausta worked at City University London, Department of Music / Composition (Electroacoustic), as a Visiting Scholar. During the visit he composed soundscape music from the sounds of London City. One of these works, Vroom!!, was released on Hearing Place (Sound Art Exploring Place from Around the World), a CD published by Australian label Move Records.
In 2005 Kuljuntausta produced internet (media) albums of Atau Tanaka, Richard Lerman, If, Bwana (Al Margolis) and Petri Kuljuntausta for Aureobel internet publishing company. Since its start the label has worked as a distribution channel for experimental music and sound art. In 2008 Kuljuntausta worked as an artistic director of the Nightingala festival and invited composers and performers to create music from nightingale song. In 2009 Science Centre Heureka commissioned Kuljuntausta to compose 20th Anniversary Music for the Science Centre. The original opening music of Heureka was composed by Einojuhani Rautavaara in 1989. In 2012 Aalto university commissioned a work from Kuljuntausta for the university's opening ceremony. Kuljuntausta lecturers regularly on Sonic Art, Electronic Music, and Soundscape Art at the University of Art and Design Helsinki and Theatre Academy (Finland).

Police arrest suspect in teen beating
Rutland Police have arrested the 46-year-old man wanted in the beating of a 14-year-old boy last month.
Jean Gaboriau was taken into custody Wednesday night after police said they recieved a tip from someone who had been reading an online news website and reported seeing a person matching a description police released of the beating suspect earlier Wednesday.
Police said they then found Gaboriau at a residence on Cleveland Avenue and took him into custody.
Gaboriau is charged with simple assault and interference with emergency services, according to police.
He is set to be arraigned later today in Rutland criminal court.
The incident took place on Sept. 11 when four teenagers on the playground at Rutland Intermediate School got into a physical altercation, according to Rutland City Police Detective Robert Gorruso.
The fight escalated, the detective said, when one of the teenagers ran to his father.
"One of them got upset and stormed away. He called his dad and it was Gaboriau," Gorruso said. "He ran onto the field and chased them down."
The teenagers tried to flee by running across Seabury Street and into the cellar of an abandoned house, the detective said.
But Gaboriau pursued them and forced his way into the basement where he allegedly beat one of the teens while the other escaped. Also during the incident, Gaboriau allegedly stole the teenager's iPhone.
Gorruso said it took investigators some time to determine Gaboriau's identity using surveillance video images and interviews with witnesses.
The injured teenager, who police have not identified, was taken to Rutland Regional Medical Center after the assault. His mother, Misti Baker, said in an interview after the incident that her son was later diagnosed with a major concussion.
Gorruso said police had looked for Gaboriau at several addresses in the city but have been unable to find him. He said Gaboriau is listed as being on escape status from furlough or probation by the state Department of Corrections.

This has been on my "to buy when I figure out a spot" list. I just thought of a perfect place for one, but am wondering how these have grown for those of you who've had it for a few years, Rouge21, I think you bought a few last year or the year before...did they survive the brutal winter OK? Are you happy with them? Others? |
Follow-Up Postings:
i am z7a but after the tops die down i put 2 or 3 inches of mulch on and they come through fine-do like a protected position in part shade-heavier mulching would probably bring the aralia through for you |
'ruth', you might have seen my (too) many posts extolling the virtues of this shade plant. I love it. I have 3 plants at different locations on our property and all 3 easily made it through this past brutal winter. I am confident it could be hardy to a USA zone 3. (Here is one of them from late last August) |
Beautiful! Thanks for the follow up. |
Yeah, this really is a great plant and reliably hardy. I don't winter protect. Rouge, is that 'Bobo' next to it? I think you had posted pics of that hydrangea and I picked one up last year. Still in a holding bed, but if that's what you have next to the aralia, I think I might now know where to put it! |
Yes that's "Bobo". (But just to let you know ASK in this picture is in a much shadier somewhat drier location than B as it is directly under the roof eave which you cannot see). |
UPDATE: Ruth, while I was out this morning I snapped a picture of one of our ASK. It is now 4 feet by 4 feet and thriving under the roof eave. (I kind of hope that it doesn't grow any larger until more things mature in this newer garden it now overly dominates.) |
This post was edited by rouge21 on Wed, Jul 9, 14 at 10:33
Hmmmm......I really like that astrantia with it. What happened to 'Bobo'? |
Good to notice this change 'thyme'. I moved these 2 "bobo" in the fall and supplemented them with 3 more to form a border in this same garden. I will show you the results in a couple of weeks as these hydrangeas are now opening up. I put in the astrantia knowing they would be in flower much sooner than those 2 "bobo" but they are still kind of small. Hopefully next season they will come into their own. |
Beautiful!! Thanks for posting the update. |
UPDATE: 'ruth', with the cooler and wetter spring and summer, this particular ASK has grown too large in its present location. As of today it is 6 feet across and about 3.5 feet tall. Next year I will regularly trim it regularly to keep it a more manageable.size. |
This post was edited by rouge21 on Mon, Aug 25, 14 at 12:03
I bet it's gorgeous! Thanks for the update. I didn't end up getting one this year, but maybe next. |
Rouge, mine is also enormous this year. I trimmed quite a bit back just a couple weeks ago and kept the shape. |
I bought one about a month ago and planted on the North side of the house. It doubled in size in just one month... Oh boy - this would be a battle to keep it in check. |
Any chance you could post a picture of yours thyme2dig? Here are some of the "flowers" showing on mine right now. |
- Posted by arbo_retum z5 ,WinchstrMA (My Page) on Wed, Sep 3, 14 at 22:59
well rouge, it looks like my style of planting is what you might want for your aralia to stay small, because mine has survived but def NOT become big. I have it in open shade (no direct sun) and growing up through a ground cover of yellow and green euonymus. yours is robust for sure. i alrdy grow quite a few yellow leaved woodies, but we will be picking up many more this month from Broken Arrow. The aralia sun king reminds me a little of the yellow leaved philadelphus, though the mock orange has smaller leaves. |

We lost our beloved Kenmore dishwasher about june 8, 2012.
It was purchased at Sears about 1991. So young. Sure it's door only had one spring but since getting advice from Bestbuy (clean it with vinegar, use the gel capsules and whetting agent, run the hot water first) it has been working really well. It was leaking. After about 2 weeks it dawned on me that it is a most capable drying rack. Really helps. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I know the feeling. We bought a house with a vintage 70's GE DW that leaked from day one. For ten years it served as our drying rack and temporary dish storage. At least the space wasn't totally wasted. We finally replaced it with a new kitchen. |
Wow, Good to hear I'm not the only one that uses my dishwasher that way. It never worked that great from day one. I went to look at new dishwashers and the sales person thought I was crazy because I wanted to know which dishwasher was best at drying the dishes. |
The amazing thing is I can remember many many times we would wash the dishes and not put them into the dishwasher. It is such an obvious thing to do and it works so well. Larry |

PAWLENTY GETS A SECOND LOOK: Mitt Romney has already made his decision on who he'll pick as his running mate, an announcement which could come this week, according to a New York Times report, and former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, who shares a close relationship with the Romney family and has become an energetic cheerleader for the GOP nominee, sits at the top of the list four years after he was passed over for the number two spot by John McCain. "After a short-lived presidential bid of his own last year, Mr. Pawlenty is again being considered for the Republican ticket. His fate is in the hands of Mr. Romney, a rival-turned-friend, who is on the cusp of announcing his vice-presidential selection. Mr. Romney has reached a decision, his friends believe, and he may disclose it as soon as this week," the New York Times' Jeff Zeleny wrote. "The country received only an abbreviated introduction to Mr. Pawlenty, 51, a former two-term governor of Minnesota, whose working-class roots, experience outside Washington and evangelical faith have formed the core of his appeal to a broad spectrum of Republicans. While Mr. Romney has kept more distance from the rest of his primary challengers, he has embraced Mr. Pawlenty, seeking his advice about running against President Obama and sending him to Republican events on his behalf. They began forging a closer relationship last year on a visit to the Romney family's lakeside home in New Hampshire, aides said, and during debates this year when Mr. Pawlenty often traveled with the Romney campaign after dropping out of the race himself."
JINDAL RISING: Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal will appear at a fundraiser with Mitt Romney today in Baton Rouge, fueling speculation about his vice presidential chances, the Washington Post's Nia-Malika Henderson reported in a profile of the Louisiana governor. "Three years ago, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal got his first big chance in the national spotlight and bombed. His response to President Obama's first State of the Union address was uniformly panned. 'Not ready for prime time' was a common critique. But Jindal (R), who is often mentioned as a vice-presidential contender on Mitt Romney's shortlist, is proof that there are second acts in American politics," Henderson wrote. "On Monday, Jindal, who backed Texas Gov. Rick Perry in the primary contest, is set to join Romney for a high-dollar fundraising luncheon with supporters in Baton Rouge, probably fueling more debate about his chances of becoming the running mate. Romney announced in a note to supporters last week that he will name his pick before the Republican National Convention in August, dubbing the ticket 'America's Comeback Team.' Asked recently about his vice-presidential prospects, Jindal offered the classic non-response. 'We're not going to speculate. I've said this for the last several weeks. We're not speculating. We're not commenting on that,' he said on NBC's "Meet the Press," referring questions to the Romney campaign. 'No disrespect to Joe Biden, nobody's going to the voting booth and voting based on who's vice president.' Yet social conservatives are looking closely at Romney's choice for signs that he wants to assuage their concerns about issues that are important to them, such as their opposition to abortion and gay rights. Jindal would fit that bill."
THUNE MEETS WITH MYERS: Sen. John Thune told The Hill he has met with senior advisors from Mitt Romney's team in Boston, including Beth Myers, who is leading the charge on the VP search. "Thune acknowledged he's been to Boston to meet Romney's senior advisers and has met Beth Myers, who is leading the search for the vice presidential nominee," The Hill's Alexander Bolton wrote. "Thune will no longer say whether he is being vetted, a telling distinction from a month ago when he freely admitted to The Hill that no one from Romney's vetting team had contacted him."
PORTMAN HITS THE TRAIL: Sen. Rob Portman had a busy weekend stumping on behalf of Mitt Romney, opening a victory office for Romney and the GOP in Cincinnati Saturday. Portman will continue on his campaign spree today by hosting a rally in Lebanon, Ohio, to bracket the president's trip to the state today. On Friday, Portman hosts a fundraiser for Romney in Lima, Ohio.
McDONNELL SLAMS NEW OBAMA AD: Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell played host to the National Governors Associations annual conference over the weekend, and blasted the new ad released by the Obama team, calling on the campaign to take it off the air, ABC News' Michael Falcone and Arlette Saenz report. "Prominent GOP governor and top Romney surrogate, Bob McDonnell of Virginia, took a shot at the Obama campaign on Saturday for its new television ad featuring Mitt Romney's off-key rendition of the song, 'America the Beautiful,'" Falcone and Saenz wrote. "In an interview with ABC News on the second full day of the National Governors Association Conference here, McDonnell blasted the 30-second spot, which the Obama campaign plans to broadcast in Virginia and eight other states. 'It's silly, it's predictable, and it's not accurate. Many of the things he's claiming that he's attributing to Mitt Romney about outsourcing has things to do with allegations about Bain investments after Mitt Romney went to run the Olympics,' McDonnell said. 'Take it off the air. Let's talk about the issues that people really care about in Virginia which is getting people back to work, getting people out of debt and having energy independence. Let's focus on that.'" McDonnell also dispensed some advice to the Romney team, urging them not to let Obama determine the terms of the debate. "Mitt Romney can't — he's not going to — respond to every single lame attack that the Obama administration makes," McDonnell said in interview with ABC News. "If he starts to run down every rabbit hole the Obama administration wants to take him, we're going to be off the message."
CHRISTIE TURNS DOWN NGA POST: New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie declined a long-planned move to become vice chair of the National Governors Association this weekend citing time constraints, the Huffington Post's John Celock reported. "In a surprising move, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) declined a long-planned move into the vice chairmanship of the National Governors Association this weekend," Celock wrote. "Christie had been slated to take the vice chairman's post for several months but recently decided against doing so, according to several governors who attended the association's annual meeting. He cited time constraints, given his current role and planned 2013 reelection campaign, as the reason for his decision. Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin (R) was elected vice chairwoman Sunday morning after Christie asked her to take the post, while Delaware Gov. Jack Markell (D) was elected chairman."
VEEP SUNDAY ROUNDUP: Potential VP contenders flooded the airwaves Sunday appearing on most of the Sunday shows. Sen. Kelly Ayotte called President Obama a "small politician running on small-ball politics" during her appearance on ABC News' This Week while Rep. Paul Ryan accused the president of "dividing" and "distracting" the country from his record with attacks on Mitt Romney. Bob McDonnell blamed the looming Pentagon budget cuts on President Obama, saying on CNN's State of the Union, "They need to act now to try to address this, because defense contractors might have to send out warning notices in the next couple months to hundreds of thousands of employees saying you might not have a job. So I think the president needs to lead on this, get Congress back, and do something about sequestration."
@robportman: 3yrs ago, POTUS pledged "To get this economy back on its feet." Today? 13mil Americans unemployed & DC deeper in debt http://goo.gl/0dlvY
@reppaulryan: We face a choice of 2 futures: stay on President's path of debt & decline, or renew American idea & restore prosperity http://cbsn.ws/LjsYAY

Happy 2013, TV fans!
We hope you made wonderful resolutions for yourselves, but only after you finished writing resolutions for your favorite TV characters like we asked you to do last week. Clearly, fans of certain TV shows have wanted to write these resolutions for awhile, and when we gave you free reign to tell us how you really feel…well, you guys saw the comment section.
From Glee and Supernatural to NCIS and The Mentalist, we picked the best resolutions written for all your favorite shows to hopefully give your characters (i.e.: the writers) something to think about for the coming year:
Shows you don't want to miss in 2013
"(Supernatural's) Dean Winchester: My New Year's Resolution is to hug my Angel Cas (Misha Collins) more."— Hannah
"My resolutions for Brittany S. Pierce (Heather Morris) would be to a) dump Trouty (Chord Overstreet), b) get back with her soulmate Santana (Naya Rivera), c) either graduate high school or drop out and get her GED (with Santana's help.. in New York...)."—Shell
"My New Year's Resolution is for NCIS Tony (Michael Weatherly) AND Ziva (Cote de Pablo) to finally admit just how much they love each other after all these years of denying those feelings and they'll agree to begin a romantic relationship! Also, that's #26 on Tony's Bucket List - Tell Her!"—zoyaroses
Meet Glee's Ryan Murphy's new baby!
"Alex (Lyndsy Fonseca) on Nikita needs to open up to someone, anyone, about her addiction relapse, and get help getting clean. Then she and Sean need to have a nice long talk."—Kat
"For Finn Hudson (Cory Monteith) on Glee: Find your self-confidence; find a dream that ignites your passions and shows you are a star; follow that dream with tenacity and heart; realize you are not just New York good but everywhere good. After coming to believe in yourself and finding & following you dream, go to New York and see how to make things work with Rachel (Lea Michele)."—NYE
"For (The Mentalist) Patrick Jane (Simon Baker) to at last move pass his obsession with Red John and allow himself to be happy once in a while. For (Elementary) Holmes (Jonny Lee Miller) and Watson (Lucy Liu) to admit they're good for each other. Not on a romantic level but as spurs and goads to move forward in their lives"—Mewofford

The team behind Eleakis & Elder Photography draws artistic inspiration from what is most important in their own lives: their human and four-legged family members. Roger Ele and his wife and part-time assistant, Joan Stathakis-Ele, founded the studio in 1986; since then, Roger has relied on low-light photography and his love for animals to capture countless families, brides, and beloved pets. Chantel Elder joined the staff in 2001 and became a partner in 2008. When she's not busy in the studio, she can be found cooking with her new husband, spending time in the garden, and hanging out with her two boston terriers. New crew member Mark Long has been a professional photographer for more than 30 years—about as long as he's been married. Though he studied commercial and underwater photography at the renowned Brooks Institute, he now looks no further than his two children and grandchild for a smiling subject.
In addition to snapping pictures of furry friends, the photographers support the Sacramento SPCA and other charitable animal causes. They can turn feline or canine portraits into wall art, a 30-page album, and gift cards, or shred them and weave the strips into a pet sweater. They are also fans of the performing arts: Roger has done work for The Sacramento Ballet and has been the official photographer of Sacramento Opera since 1984.
Walls garnished with thought-provoking masterpieces make living rooms into museums with couches where friends and family love to lounge. Ki Gifts and Custom Framing has acted as a secondary curator to museums with couches all over the city by offering always-friendly and knowledgeable art advice. The charming shop's custom-framing services take the guesswork out of border binding your beautiful prints, paintings, and more. Digitally overlay frames and mats onto your masterpiece through Wizard's Integrated Framer software, which allows you to see the final product before its analog conception. Although pricing varies based on quality of frame, mat, and glass, complete pieces start at around $60 for 11"x14" and $160 for 24"x36".
"I am Matt. I Take Pictures." That's the entire description listed for Matt Walker on the website for his company, Flaunt Images Photography. While brief, it's actually a fairly apt bio for him—photography has defined Mr. Walker since childhood. His family members were photographers, and they taught how still images could capture a person's personality and preserve it for posterity. Mr. Walker's passion for the art form still burns like a pile of old nitrate film; he lends his artistic eye to all sorts of photography, including senior portraits, fashion shoots, and weddings.
Artistic Edge celebrates art in all its forms with a selection of more than 1,000 custom frame options as well as creative classes. During two-hour art classes for preteen Picassos, held Saturdays at 10 a.m., veteran elementary-school art teacher Linda Howell leads students ages 6–11 through a different project each week. The sessions, which include materials, may cover a range of traditional techniques such as drawing, painting, sculpture, or swaddling skyscrapers in orange fabric.
Wielding a high-tech camera, Lonna Ponce snaps dynamic portraits in the comfort of her studio or ventures out to on-location shoots. The shutterbug draws on an ability to lure emotive poses out of subjects while capturing wedding photos and family snapshots bound for Christmas cards or the syllabuses of robots trying to learn about love.

Rangers Ballpark in Arlington
Attendance: 36,245
Arlington, TX (Sports Network) - Vladimir Guerrero's three-run double capped a seven-run fourth inning rally that carried Texas to a 9-6 comeback win over Tampa Bay in the opener of a three-game set at Rangers Ballpark.
Josh Hamilton and Justin Smoak each had three hits, including a home run, and scored twice for the Rangers, who won for a third time in their last four games.
"We battled back, we always battle back," said Hamilton. "We've always been a 'never say die' team until the last out is recorded. And that's the way we're always going to play."
C.J. Wilson (4-3) earned the win with five-plus innings of work during which he allowed five runs -- three earned -- on six hits while walking four and fanning five. Neftali Feliz dashed any hopes of another dramatic Rays comeback by working out of trouble in a scoreless ninth to register his 15th save.
Wade Davis (5-5) absorbed the loss after being roughed up for eight runs on nine hits over 3 1/3 innings. He did not walk a batter and fanned three, as the Rays fell for a third time in their last five games.
"I thought he started out ok, but the command issues got to him," said Tampa manager Joe Maddon about Davis. "They didn't crush the ball, but they had a lot of well placed line drives and that was just good hitting on their part."
Ben Zobrist had three hits and scored twice, and Evan Longoria homered for Tampa Bay, which has dropped six of its last seven in Arlington since the start of last season.
Tampa Bay loaded the bases with nobody out in the second inning and scored the first run of the game on an Ian Kinsler fielding error. Sean Rodriguez bounced into a force at third to chase home Zobrist before Carl Crawford delivered a two-out, two-run single to complete the four-run rally.
Texas got half the runs back in the bottom of the frame on a two-out, two-run homer by Smoak.
Hamilton's leadoff long ball in the fourth trimmed the Rays lead to one and triggered the game-changing surge.
Elvis Andrus' bases loaded single knocked in the tying run before Michael Young's two-run single put the home team in the lead for the first time, 6-4 and knocked Davis out of the game.
Andy Sonnanstine took over and hit Kinsler to reload the bases for Guerrero, who plated all three runners with a double to left for a five-run advantage. Guerrero was playing for the first time since suffering a swollen left eye when a ball ricocheted off the batting cage in Chicago on Wednesday.
Tampa loaded the bases with nobody out in the sixth with a single and two walks to chase Wilson from the game. Darren O'Day took over and got pinch- hitter Reid Brignac to pop up before giving way to Matt Harrison. The left- hander induced pinch-hitter Hank Blalock, playing for the first time against his former team, to bounce into a fielder's choice that plated Zobrist to make it 9-5. B.J. Upton drew a walk to reload the bases before Crawford went down on strikes to end the inning.
Longoria blasted a leadoff longball to left in the seventh to trim the Rangers' lead to 9-6.
Harrison recorded the first two outs in the seventh and was followed by Darren Oliver, who struck out Brignac to end the frame.
Frank Francisco retired the side in order in the eighth and Feliz came on to strike out the first two hitters in the ninth. He then hit Zobrist and John Jaso before Carlos Pena grounded out on the first pitch he saw to end the game.

Miami Dolphins Paul Warfield (42) and Mercury Morris (22) sit on the bench. Cant put him lower than No. 4, even if he only played four Dolphins seasons. They involved three Super Bowl appearances (two wins) and his downfield presence became a good reason why. He defined the receiver position in his era.

The UAE and Poland have agreed to undertake all possible measures to further promote bilateral trade and develop economic relations as the first meeting of the UAE-Poland Joint Commission for Economic Cooperation began in Warsaw on February 6.
A free trade agreement (FTA) between India and the UAE would help increase bilateral trade flow between the two countries, a top Non-Resident Indian businessman said.
Indian Business Leaders Forum, or IBLF, said it will make an all-out effort to see that a Free Trade Agreement between the UAE and India becomes a reality in the coming months.
South Korea's investments into the UAE will rise by 400 per cent while trade volume will expand by 50 per cent in next one year, once the free trade agreement is signed between the GCC and Seoul, a senior official said.
Imposing a value added tax (VAT) on GCC and Arab products in the UAE would be against the agreements signed by the country with other Gulf and Arab states, according to the Ministry of Economy.
A UAE-Japan FTA should focus on bridging the gap in trade between the two sides and encourage Japan to pump more investment into the UAE to enable it to acquire technology, which is needed for its economic diversification programme, said the Emirates Centre for Strategic Studies and Research.
The United States has not dropped the ball on a free-trade agreement with the UAE, Sheikha Lubna Al Qasimi, Minister of Foreign Trade, told delegates at the Middle East-Asia Leadership Forum in Dubai.
President His Highness Shaikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan and visiting Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe expressed their firm determination to develop bilateral relations between the UAE and Japan at all levels.
The UAE is negotiating eight free-trade agreements with key economic blocks that will have an impact on trade worth Dh388 billion, according to 2005 figures, and cement the country's position as the economic hub of the Middle East.
The UAE has proposed an Indo-Arabic economic bloc with a view to ensure prosperity and growth over the long term for the two sides.

Rag & Bone Goes Rock & Roll for Spring 2009
Rag & Bone Goes Rock & Roll for Spring 2009
>> Take working-class fashion, add a pinch of Joy Division, and you've got the inspiration David Neville and Marcus Wainwright were drawing on for their Spring 2009 collection. The Rag & Bone show changed venues this season from the upscale Cipriani to the more hard-edged Pier 94 — a change from polished to slightly edgy that you could also say was reflected in the clothes.
Black wraparound leather belts with threateningly sharp silver spikes accented so many of the looks, and are sure to be a must-have — but even the typical Rag & Bone tweedy suits were rock-n-rolled up with a leather mini, like Julia Dunstall's closing look, or a silvery silk sheen, like Jessica Stam's blazer.
The model cast was full of high notes — stalwarts like opener Sasha Pivovarova or Coco Rocha — and the coveted new girls like Aline Weber and Liu Wen. Arlenis Pena was there too: she's had a big day, between being named as the new face of Lancome and slipping up at BCBG this morning.
To get the full experience, check out the runway video at Elle.com.
